The special points that serve as snapping points depend entirely on the object; these could be:

* Base points of [[Arch Structure|Arch Structures]].
* SnapPoints of [[Arch Equipment|Arch Equipments]].
* Any point defined in the {{incode|SnapPoints}} attribute of an object, if it exists. The vectors defined in the {{incode|SnapPoints}} attribute (a {{incode|VectorList}} property) are transformed together with the object placement before snapping.
